Map fields to configure how data moves from the upstream transformation to the Output transformation.
Configure field mappings on the
Field Mapping
tab.
The
Field Mapping
tab includes a list of incoming fields and a list of target fields.
Mapped field names can have a maximum of 72 characters.
You can configure the following field mapping options:
Field Mapping Type
Method of mapping fields to the Mapplet transformation. Select one of the following options:
Manual. Manually link incoming fields to Mapplet transformation input fields. Removes links for automatically mapped fields.
Automatic. Automatically link fields with the same name. Use when all of the fields that you want to link share the same name. You cannot manually link fields with this option.
Options
Controls how fields are displayed in the
Incoming Fields
and
Output Fields
lists. Configure the following options:
The fields that appear. You can show all fields, unmapped fields, or mapped fields.
Field names. You can use technical field names or labels.
Automap Options
Links fields with matching names. Allows you to link matching fields, and then manually configure other field mappings.
You can map fields in the following ways:
Exact Field Name.
Data Integration
matches fields of the same name.
Smart Map.
Data Integration
matches fields with similar names. For example, if you have an incoming field
Cust_Name
and a target field
Customer_Name
,
Data Integration
automatically links the
Cust_Name
field with the
Customer_Name
field.
You can use both Exact Field Name and Smart Map in the same field mapping. For example, use Exact Field Name to match fields with the same name and then use Smart Map to map fields with similar names.
You can undo all automapped field mappings by clicking
Automap Options
Undo Automap
. To unmap a single field, select the field to unmap
and click
Actions
Unmap
.
Data Integration
highlights newly mapped fields. For example, when you use Exact Field Name,
Data Integration
highlights the mapped fields. If you then use Smart Map,
Data Integration
only highlights the fields mapped using Smart Map.
